Orlando, Fla. — First downs and second guesses from the Capital One Bowl. Or, what's in your bowl game?
>> They wanted to win a championship. They didn't. Instead, Nebraska's seniors poured a foundation for the future.
There's something to take from that. A lot, actually.
Are some forgettable performances in big games on their tab? You bet.
But when they signed on to play at Nebraska back in 2008, the program was looking to re-instill the "Nebraska Way" into the culture. Look beyond the disappointments at what they did.
Commitment? Some of these seniors signed on to play for Bill Callahan. They didn't know Bo Pelini from Bo Diddley. The ones who stayed took a leap of faith but also kept that commitment.
Toughness? Many of the seniors, from Rex Burkhead to Sean Fisher to Baker Steinkuhler, dragged themselves onto the field with injuries time and again.
Class? Despite bearing the brunt of ridicule in the mainstream and social media after the lopsided losses, the young men showed up and took their medicine, never made excuses, never backed down from the spotlight.
Honor? Cam Meredith is my favorite here. Because of injuries at tackle, the 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive end moved inside, out of position, where he's had to take on 300-pound maulers all game. He's been knocked around and bloodied, but he's kept coming back for more, without one complaint.
Scoff if you will. But these are the things that I've always heard were the backbone of Husker football, the Nebraska Way. They brought that back.
But, as senior Ben Cotton said, they aren't done yet.
"I think we did a good job of setting the culture in the right direction," Cotton said. "It's the way it's supposed to be around here: How you handle yourself on the field; when it's time to work you go to work; how you handle yourself in the classroom. But I will add, we seniors don't think we've left a good enough mark yet."
They want 11 wins. They deserve to get that.
>> Shawn Eichorst takes over as Nebraska athletic director Wednesday, but he's not in Orlando. Tom Osborne said he invited Eichorst to be his guest at the game, but Eichorst declined, saying he wanted to spend some family time at home before he takes over. I don't have a problem with that. If Eichorst were here, he would be besieged by Nebraska media. He's left the spotlight for Osborne, and that's admirable. See you Wednesday, Shawn.
>> More money doesn't make coaches smarter. It makes them richer. That said, offensive coordinator Tim Beck's raise was a good idea and well deserved. Beck was pursued by two suitors, and he's done enough to warrant keeping him. I'd still like to see a bigger, more dominant offensive line with an ability to pound out some wins on the ground. The Big Ten championship would have been a good spot for a dominant run game. But there's a lot to like about Beck's offense, and the architect is just getting started.
>> I've been here since Thursday and have seen hardly any Nebraska fans. I finally heard a "Gooo, Bigggg, Redddd" chant in a local hangout last night. But that doesn't mean they aren't coming. If Husker fans don't flock here, I understand. It's not necessarily the back-to-back trips to Orlando; Husker fans used to have no problem going to Florida every January. But back then, they had an expectation they would win, play well or be in the game. That expectation isn't there now. I also think having to fly around the Big Ten takes a bite out of the wallet. Big Red fans used to drive around the Big Eight or Big 12 and fly once. Also, conference championship games can be buzz-kills for the losing school. We'll see who shows up Tuesday. But if they aren't there, I think it's because they've lost some faith.
>> I received a nice email from Taylor Martinez's father, Casey, in response to my Saturday column on the quarterback. I felt like I should share some of it. Casey said his son is getting more comfortable with his role in the Nebraska fishbowl and wants to fulfill the duties of that role. He said Taylor is fiercely loyal and proud of Nebraska (and the Big Ten) and brags about the Huskers to his friends. His comments the other day about Big Ten defenses were his way of bragging about the Big Ten.
>> Are you pulling for the Big Ten in bowl games? Most Husker fans I know are consumed with the state and fate of their favorite team, not the league. But they don't want to be part of an embarrassment, either. Whether they admit it, I bet Nebraskans are pulling for the Big Ten to show well. So far, so good for the Big Ten in bowls. Minnesota's effort was like a win. Jan. 1 will tell the tale for the league. If the Big Ten can win the Rose Bowl and beat an SEC team or two, that would be a good day.
>> Never let it be said that Bo Pelini is an impatient man. The coach said he stood in line for an hour with his 9-year-old daughter, Caralyn, to meet Ariel at the Magic Kingdom on Thursday.
Pelini said a Disney World worker finally came out and said, "If you are waiting for a ride, you're in the wrong line. The ride is over there."
"Over half of the line got out and left," Pelini said. "They were in the wrong line the whole time. So we got up there pretty quick."
Pelini said his favorite ride was the "Hulk" at Universal Studios. How fitting.
"I thought the Hulk was pretty cool," Pelini said. "The Harry Potter ride is pretty cool. The simulation. You're on a broom. It's kind of like Soarin' (at Epcot).
"I rode every ride. I'm getting a little too old for those rides. One of the players talked me into going on the one that shoots you up in the air. I don't like that."
>> I saw a perfect shirt for Pelini to wear to his weekly press conferences next year. It has a picture of Grumpy on it and says, "I'm Grumpy because you're Dopey."
>> A final note: My guest at the Omaha Press Club next Tuesday (noon, Jan. 8) will be World-Herald veteran scribe Lee Barfknecht. We'll talk bowl games, Nebraska and Big Ten football and hoops.

The "Sydney Promise" on the way
EUROPARC is being actively engaged to prepare its contribution and coordinate European Protected Area strengths toward the 6th World Parks Congress (WPC) which will take place in Sydney, Australia in November 2014, under the theme "Parks, People, Planet: inspiring solutions".
The Congress, organised by IUCN and held every ten years, is the world's most influential gathering of people involved in Protected Area management, it sets the global agenda for the following decade.
EUROPARC joined forces together with WCPA and others to collect good practice examples and experiences from within the European network of Protected Areas to address to main issues for the future of Protected Areas.
The WCPA Europe - steering committee, of which EUROPARC's Director, Carol Ritchie is a member, met last week in London and considered how to optimise the European inputs into the Congress.
To ensure, that our Protected Areas get the most out of this important happening, a special follow up "European event" was discussed and consideration of the main issue that Europe can contribute to the Congress.
EUROPARC assisted the programme committee by sorting and reviewing the 300 submissions from all over Europe to the WPC.
A "little Sydney" event was considered for spring of 2015 to bring the "Sydney Promise" back to European colleagues. This "Sydney Promise" will be an action-orientated agenda for Protected Areas for the next 10 years and beyond.
In addition to this, EUROPARC submitted its input the Congress to ensure the experience and challenges of Protected Areas – in particular the success and challenges of the N2000 network - across Europe are well represented and taken into high consideration on the debate towards the future role of Protected Areas at world level. All EUROPARC members and Sections have been invited in the preparatory process to endeavour EUROPARC to effectively represent at the Congress the voice of Protected Areas in Europe.
EUROPARC council will now consider the role it can play in the WPC in Sydney at its Council meeting in May.

Dangerous to Love
The Knight of Rosecliffe
The Maiden Bride
The Matchmaker
Mistress of Rosecliffe
The heroine, Sarah Palmer, is characterized as reckless and lacking judgment right from the beginning, a characterization that is maintained consistently for 300 pages. We first meet her the morning after she has tried to elope with a fortune hunter. Her older brother pursued her, thwarted the attempt, and revealed her suitor for a scoundrel. The London of 1827 is unforgiving of such conduct, so her family packs her off to stay with her older half-sister in the Scottish Borders. When she arrives, she finds that Olivia and her family have gone to Glasgow for a month. Instead of following them, Sarah decides to stay by herself in her sister's home and prove to her family that she can behave maturely. Bad decision.
On her journey from London to Scotland, Sarah met Marshall MacDougal, an American also traveling to Kelso. Marshall's mother raised him in the belief that his father died en route to Boston, leaving her to have her baby alone and nearly penniless. After her death, he finds a letter from his father, dated one year after Marshall's birth, telling Marshall's mother that he had contracted a 'true marriage' and would not be joining her in Boston. There is no marriage license among his mother's few papers, but Marshall believes her story. He travels to Scotland, determined to revenge himself on his father and to claim his birthright as Cameron Byrde's first-born son.
Marsh is unwittingly walking into a complicated set of relationships. The second woman Cameron Byrde married is Sarah Palmer's mother. Thus her half-sister, Olivia, is also Marshall MacDougal's half-sister because Marshall and Olivia have the same father. Cameron Byrde died a few years after he married Olivia's mother. Augusta Linden Byrde remarried and produced Sarah Palmer, so Olivia and Sarah share the same mother. (Got that?)
Understandably, it takes Marshall some time to sort this out, during which time he believes that he has been attracted to his half-sister. Not wanting to reveal his identity, he tries to distance himself from Sarah by being rude to her. Sarah, in the meantime, has figured out who Marsh is and that his plans endanger both Olivia's inheritance and her peace of mind. Sarah decides to find Marsh's mother's wedding lines before he does and destroy them - another typically poor decision.
Marsh is attracted to Sarah from his first sight of her on the docks at Berwick-on-Tweed. On her part, from that first, dockside kiss, Sarah finds herself responding physically to his advances. Why, I don't know. Every single physical encounter between Marsh and Sarah is coercive on Marsh's part. He forces his kisses on her - they are more of an assault than an embrace - and then is infuriated because he is left aroused and frustrated. He never shows any empathy for Sarah, even when he embarrasses her sexually during an unchaperoned carriage ride.
In an effort to spare her family pain, Sarah tells Marsh she will pay him to return to America without revealing his heritage. That is not enough for Marsh. He blackmails Sarah into having sex with him by telling her that only then will he leave without causing trouble. Afterwards, even though he knows Sarah's motives are unselfish, he blames her. "She was a self-indulgent English aristocrat who believed her money could buy anyone off. When it could not buy him off, however, she willingly threw herself into the pot. Anything to protect her family's reputation among the rest of their loathsome peers." He then leaves without thinking that she might be pregnant. My skin crawled.
None of the authorial attempts to reclaim Marshall MacDougal in the last third of the book worked. Becnel could not show him flirting with rape for more than 200 pages, then expect readers to believe in his reformation. His earlier characterization was too well established. My conclusion? Spare yourself a nasty experience - avoid The Troublemaker.

Action Alert: Cancel Haiti's Debt
Both before and after Haiti's catastrophic earthquake, Jubilee USA Network worked with the office of Congresswoman Maxine Waters - a longtime champion of debt relief - to lead the call for cancellation of Haiti's debt. On Feb. 2, Congresswomen Waters introduced a bill calling for Haiti's debt cancellation.
A collaborative partner of the United Methodist Women's Division, Jubilee USA Network is an alliance of more than 75 religious denominations and faith communities, human rights, environmental, labor, and community groups working for the definitive cancellation of crushing debts to fight poverty and injustice in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
With the Latin America Working Group, another United Methodist Women partner and one of the nation's longest standing coalitions dedicated to foreign policy, Jubilee USA has now issued a global call to seek not only a reconstruction of roads, buildings, and institutions, but to "break the cycle of fragility and poverty" that has prevented Haiti's sustained national development.
Hayley Hathaway, a Jubilee USA Network spokesperson, noted:
"In the wake of Haiti's unimaginable tragedy, one obvious and simple step toward a just recovery is for the international community to cancel Haiti's $1 billion debt.
Even before the earthquake, Haiti suffered from an extreme poverty exacerbated by the combined effects of the food, fuel and economic crises, a series of natural disasters, and legacy of unjust debt. For decades the country was forced to divert tens of millions of dollars in debt payments from investments in hospitals, schools, or other infrastructure--resources that could have helped in the aftermath of the earthquake.
This cycle begins with Haiti's independence and continues through their history. Shortly after Haiti won independence from France and abolished slavery, France threatened to reinvade and re-establish slavery unless Haiti paid "reparations" for the loss of the "property", including slaves, forcing Haiti to pay the equivalent of $21 billion today. More recently their debts increased under the brutal dictatorships of the Duvaliers, who spent aid money on lavish parties and brutal militias.
Jubilee USA Network has worked for the cancellation of Haiti's unjust debt for many years. We celebrated last June, when Haiti finally received cancellation of $1.2 billion of its debts owed to the IMF, World Bank, and the US and other governments.
Now, we must continue our work and ensure that Haiti's $1 billion remaining debt is cancelled swiftly and without conditions.
We must also work to make sure that Haiti doesn't get back into the chains of debt--aid should be in the form of grants, not loans. Yesterday, however, the International Monetary Fund approved an additional $102 million loan to Haiti. While the IMF Managing Director has stated his intention to work for Haiti's debt to be cancelled, we clearly must keep up the pressure."
A petition drafted by The Jubilee USA Network urges Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner "to announce [his] full support for Haiti's debt cancellation and work with [his] counterparts so Haiti can begin its recovery without the burden of debt." "Haiti needs all of its resources for recovery and reconstruction, not debt repayments." Haiti's lenders - the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank - made presentations at a recent conference on Haiti held in Montreal. Haiti owes an estimated $1 billion in debt: $214 million to the Paris Club. Nearly $300 million owed to Haiti's top lender, Venezuela, expects to be forgiven as announced by President Hugo Chavez. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced support for forgiving Haiti's debt saying, "It is just unrealistic to think that Haiti would ever, in the far foreseeable future, be able to repay."
"Going forward, we're going to need your voice to make sure that our government and the international community take the necessary steps to support Haiti as it begins the long road to recovery."
Break the Cycle of Poverty! Drop Haiti's Debt Now!
- Sign The Jubilee USA petition "Drop Haiti's Debt Now and No More Debt for Disaster."

Review: Survival Run with Bear Grylls is a familiar but still fun endless runner
Survival Run with Bear Grylls is an endless runner that looks and plays a lot like Temple Run, but that is not necessarily a bad thing, especially with a few new kinks thrown in to enhance the fun. While the layout, graphics, and general feel are very similar to that of other endless runner games, the experience feels unique in just enough ways to warrant a download for Bear Grylls fans.

Here are the facts:
- I use unique email addresses for each site/company.
- The email address I use with devmaster.net has *ONLY* been used to register with these forums.
- The email address I use with devmaster.net is sufficiently random to not be guessable.
- I signed up with devmaster.net 30th May 2012 to post this post. (This has been my only interaction with the site, until now.)
- Today I received spam (alledgedly from firstname.lastname@example.com) to the email address.
- The email I received was entirely unrelated to devmaster.net.
I notice that I am not the first person to report this.
So, it seems reasonable to concluding the following.
a/ devmaster.net has had a serious security breach,or
b/ devmaster.net user email addresses are being given (sold) to unrelated third parties (spammers), in violation of the site's privacy agreement.
Either way, I seriously doubt that I am the only person who would like to hear what the site maintainers have to say about this.

I'd actually discovered it years ago off the edge of a rugged BLM double-track, a portable with its plastic withered like mummy skin and half full of adobe mud. It seemed like an apt metaphor for a writer's life, a mystery, a symbol of something, I wasn't sure what. In any case, I liked seeing it there in the incongruous wilderness as I rode by, often as not pondering some knotty writing assignment.
I enjoyed the image so much I stopped on one ride and moved the typewriter to a spot inside the spiky, gray branches of a saltbrush, against the possibility that someone else might see it and cart it home. I could have brought it home – not easily on the bike – but I preferred leaving it out there, as you might leave an Anasazi pot you'd stumbled across. In the dry hills miles from any desk, it had a kind of talismanic power.
On this ride, though, Ellen decided she wanted to bring the typewriter home. She left me to my longer loop and went back for the truck. She had in mind a design-conscious friend of hers who had placed an antique Underwood on a garden table in her leafy side yard in Santa Monica.
I didn't use a typewriter when I started freelancing in the 1970s – to compose, that is. The pieces I submitted to magazines and newspapers had to be typed, of course. But I didn't think I could do the creative part, actually come up with sentences and paragraphs, on a keyboard. I wrote everything out longhand, then retyped the pages for the editors.
This was precisely the way the inventors of typewriters saw their machines in the mid 19th century. As a way for skilled secretaries to take dictation, or render flawed handwriting legible. An early Italian model was created for a blind countess who couldn't see her own scribbles. In 1870 Friedrich Nietzsche's mother and sister bought him a Danish "writing ball" for Christmas. The letter keys were arrayed on top of the contraption like a big pin cushion. Nietzsche hated it; he couldn't think and write at the same time.
In this I may have taken after my own mother. Her first-ever job was a day (it was 1940-ish and she thinks she earned $1.50) of paid typing for a university professor in Berkeley. In high school she had made herself a fast typist by retyping stories from Reader's Digest. When the call came to the high school for a good typist, they sent my mother up to the big campus.
The only trouble was, the assignment mostly involved typing figures in columns. And there were multiple carbon copies. Mom remembers an agonizing process of peeling back the various sheets, erasing carefully every mistake. She got it done, but I think she was traumatized by the experience. To this day she writes everything in expansive longhand; I've never seen her type. She doesn't have a computer, doesn't do email. She refers to her daughter-in-law's laptop as "that white box."
I got over my keyboard phobias. I pretty much had to as Word took over the world. But I wonder sometimes if the punching of plastic keys doesn't somehow steal a piece of the writer's soul, the way Native Americans feared the camera lens robbed them of theirs.
When I got home from my loop, Ellen had already placed the fossil Smith-Corona on top of the garden wall. Saltbrush seeds filled the spaces between letters, and the typebars all clumped together in a rusted fist half-way to striking the roller.
I like it there. It'll remind me every day of the George Booth cartoon in The New Yorker in which a man sits in front of a typewriter on his dilapidated porch and his wife scolds from the doorway: "Now hit those keys!"
Ellen had nothing of the sort in mind, I'm quite sure, when she brought this one home. Just the same, I'm hittin' 'em.

Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown pronounced Alma Fleming dead at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at her home on the 500 block of South Stebbins Street in Wellborn.
Brown said by phone this morning that an autopsy showed Fleming died from multiple stab wounds to the chest.
Anniston police Capt. Allen George said police charged Walter Craig Pinkston, 32, of Anniston and Monica Marie Shively, 30, of Anniston Wednesday in Fleming's death. George said investigators believe the couple had been helping Fleming with chores such as yard work.
George said police picked the two up Wednesday at the State Trooper post in Jacksonville. Pinkston was at the post to pay fines and reinstate his driver's license, the captain said.
Assistant Metro Editor Daniel Gaddy and Staff Writer Eddie Burkhalter provided reporting.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"If I Did it again I would buy the heavier card stock. It's a lovely card and the proof, review and customer service were fantastic. Great value for the price."
"We loved how our Save the Date turned out. It was exactly what we wanted, and very reasonable in terms of price. I would absolutely recommend using Wedding Paper Divas."
"I have received TONS of compliments on these Save the Dates. My family and friends have said this is the best save the date they have ever received! I was more than happy with the photo quality and how they turned out. Couldn't have been happier!"
"They turned out beautifully! I cannot wait to send to my wedding guests! I also really love that you can reorder a few more at the price you paid for a larger quantity! Very impressed"
"Purchased these save the dates with the upgraded pearl white shimmer paper as recommended and I was glad I did. The paper quality looks excellent! The prints looks just like my electronic proof and customer service was speedy with their correspondence. Only wish they could have removed the cheesy header of "Celebrate LOVE" with just simply "Save the date" ;) But overall, a great purchase! Great company!"

Author Talk – Don Faber - The Boy Governor: Stevens T. Mason and the Birth of Michigan Politics
Don Faber, Ann Arbor historian and journalist, explores the historic accomplishments of Michigan's first and youngest governor in this new book. Faber describes how Stevens T. Mason led Michigan into statehood, fought a war with Ohio, and put in place many of the essential institutions the state enjoys today.
The Boy Governor tells the complete story of this dominant political figure in Michigan's early development, covering both his successes and failures. Capturing Mason's youthful idealism and visionary accomplishments, including his advocacy for a strong state university and legislating for the creation of the Soo Locks, this biography renders a vivid portrait of Michigan's first governor—his conflicts, his desires, and his sense of patriotism.

Here's how RW members rated this race (14 votes).
In short: well organised eventIn full: another great race for EVH.....supporters all in the right places to cheer. Enthusistic marshals and a great place to have a HQ, especially for the prize givingDate of review: May 12, 2013
In short: Excellent Race - Well Done EVHIn full: We enjoyed great conditions, sun shining warmly however the road was shaded in places keeping you cool. The course was well marshalled and plenty of spectators giving encouragement. We would definitely recommend this run.Date of review: May 15, 2012
In short: Fabulous as usual!In full: The sun shone with a gentle breeze, the mashalls gave encouragement and the crowd at the hill more so. EVH are well practiced at running a smooth event, which is why I keep coming back, even though thats where I finish - at the back- who cares, I did it!!!Date of review: May 13, 2012
In short: lovely evening race In full: Reslly great race - lovely scenery on a warm sunny evening and the hill isn't so bad really.Organisation fantastic as were the marshalls and supporting crowds along the wall and great atmosphere at start and finish. Great tshirt too and appreciated the bottle of water at half way and end (as opposed to half filled cups).Great race. Arrive early if you want to park in Station car park.Date of review: May 13, 2012
In short: Good course, well organised, very good race.In full: My first time here. Had been warned about the big hill after 2K but it was still a shock! A varied course though with downs as well as ups and PB potential if you get the pacing right. Very well organised - well doen Erme Valley Harriers.Date of review: May 24, 2011
In short: Once again very well organisedIn full: A very well organised race. Everything seemed to run smoothly, with very good marshalling from both the volunteers and police. Thank you EVH.Date of review: May 16, 2011
In short: another well organised race by EVHIn full: great race, well marshaled. great crowd support in all the right places. big hill at 2km mark did not stop this being a fast course as lots of PBs on the night testify. Free massage, a good technical t-shirt and a bar to celebrate those PB. it cannot be bad!! Well done EVH, keep up the good workDate of review: May 16, 2011
In short: Fantastic organisation for such a big race. In full: This was the first time I've done this race and I got a pb so I am very pleased. Yes there is a tough hill but it does level out and there are some fab. downhills to make up for it. Not easy to organize this many runners but I think it went like clockwork. Sensible to have the finish, start, bag store, all separated out so that people can spread out. Good t-shirt - no need for more water in my opinion on a 10k race - beginners can always carry water if they need it. Well marshalled - all in all a very good raceDate of review: May 17, 2010
In short: Good event, well marshalled - and spectators dotted around to drive you on!In full: This is actually a good 10K run and apart from one hill (most of us walked it)it was pretty easy to navigate. This was my first 10k and was pleased to come in under an hour. My only grievance would be lack of water stops. Could have done with at least two as opposed to one particularly as it was a warm day.Date of review: May 15, 2010
In short: Very well-organised and popular raceIn full: Well marshalled. Traffic kept under control! Welcoming finish at rugby club. Excellent introduction to 10K running despite one steepish hillDate of review: May 24, 2006

This is the simplest portable GPS locating device available, ideal for finding your car after shopping or your hotel after a day of touring in an unfamiliar city. Simply push a button when you leave your car or a hotel and the device marks the location and points the way back. Half the size of a cell phone, the compact receiver fits easily on a keychain, in a pocket, or in a purse. Unlike typical GPS units that are highly complex, this one only has two buttons: one for switching your compass mode, another for setting up to three starting points. It uses an advanced GPS receiver chipset that provides a high degree of accuracy—within five yards—in urban canyons or heavily forested environments. It counts down the distance (in yards, miles, meters, or kilometers) as you approach your starting point and its self-calibrating digital compass displays your heading in degrees and indicates direction with an easy-to-read arrow. A backlight button illuminates the display for easy reading in low light conditions. It also remembers your waypoints when powered off. Best in outdoor conditions. Weather resistant. Requires two AAA batteries. 3 1/4" L x 2" W x 3/4" D. (2 oz.)

Frank Keating is president and CEO of the American Bankers Association (ABA). The ABA is a 135 year old association that represents banks of all sizes and charters and is the voice for the nation's $13 trillion banking industry and its two million employees.
He became the ABA's president and CEO on January 1, 2011, following seven years of service as the president and CEO of the American Council of Life Insurers, and after serving two terms as Oklahoma's 25th governor.
Born in St. Louis in 1944, Keating grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. His 30-year career in law enforcement and public service included stints as an FBI agent; U.S. Attorney and state prosecutor; and Oklahoma House and Senate member. He served Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the Treasury, Justice, and Housing departments. His service in the Treasury and Justice gave him responsibility for all federal criminal prosecutions in the nation and oversight over such agencies as the Secret Service, U.S. Customs, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, U.S. Marshals, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
In 1993 he returned to Oklahoma to run for governor. He won a three-way race by a landslide and was easily reelected in 1998, becoming only the second governor in Oklahoma history to serve two consecutive terms.
Governor Keating won national acclaim in 1995 for his compassionate and professional handling of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City. In the aftermath of the tragedy, he raised more than six million dollars to fund scholarships for the nearly 200 children left with only one or no parents. His accomplishments as Governor include winning a public vote on right-to-work, tort reform, tax cuts, and major road building and education reform.
Governor Keating recently served on the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force, a group of former cabinet members, elected officials and key stakeholders of both parties that recommended a series of tough measures to address the nation's fiscal challenges.
Governor Keating serves on the board of the National Archives Foundation, is Chairman of the Mt. Vernon Advisory Board of Directors and is President of the Federal City Council, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the improvement of the nation's capital. He is seen frequently on the cable news channels as a commentator on a wide variety of topics. Governor Keating also is the author of three children's books, biographies of Will Rogers, Theodore Roosevelt, and Standing Bear, the Indian whose case established the constitutional rights of Native Americans.
Frank and his wife, Cathy, live in McLean, Virginia. They have three children and nine grandchildren.

Join us and help us break the World's Largest Game of Knockout!
Saturday, November, 10 2012 the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The standing record recognized by Guinness Book of World Records is 571 participants! Help us beat that record on Saturday, Nov 10th.
Start Time: 10AM
Registration Due By: Friday, November 9th
How to Register: Register online at MAACachusetts.com or at participating outlets. Everyone that registers prior to November 9th will receive a free ticket to the MAAC Basketball Championships in March of 2013, right here at the MassMutual Center. Those who register the day of the event will receive a discount offer for the MAAC Championships.
Knockout Rules:
- Two players or more in a single-file line, typically starting at the free-throw line.
- Two basketballs, held by the first two players in line.
- The first player in line begins the game by taking an initial shot.
- As soon as the first player has taken the initial shot, the second player may step up to the line and take his or her shot.
- If a player's initial shot does not go in, he or she may rebound the basketball and attempt to make a basket from any location as quickly as possible (most often, a layup would be attempted because it is an easier shot to make than a standard jump shot).
- Once a player makes a basket, he or she must immediately pass the ball to the next player at the front of the line and then go to the end of the line. The player at the front of the line may take his or her shot immediately upon receiving a ball.
- If any player does not make his or her shot before the person in line behind them, he or she is "knocked out" and is out until a new game starts.
- The order of the players in line cannot change during the game except by shrinking in size as players are knocked out.
- The game continues until everyone is knocked out except for one final player, who is deemed the winner.
- The object of the game is for the players to "knockout" the player in front of them until they are the final player left

Facilities and furniture are all super old. Heaters don't work well. The place is clean, but there's not real shower; it's a shower head connected to the wall with no curtain or door.

"After a while I couldn't lift those boxes and the cabinet fumes affected my breathing," Lucich, 43, said. "I needed a job that can last me for the next 20 years seeing as how I need to work that much longer."
But with 20 years behind her of warehouse experience, the Sparks resident's chances of working in such an environment weren't great without more education. A period of unemployment led her to a non-profit training agency called Job Opportunities in Nevada, which then directed her to the Soroptomist International of Truckee Meadows. Both organizations offered her a chance to learn new skills and remake herself as an office professional. Today, she is in her third month working a temp job in customer service with Anthem Blue Cross' Kelly Services in Reno.
She spoke of her experiences at a recent seminar called "Women Moving Forward" for those in search of employment but who need the resources or the right direction to find it.
The seminar is geared toward women who face challenges in their personal and professional lives in pursuing opportunities for themselves and their families, said Jennifer Crowe, SITM club spokesperson.
"It focuses on women who have been displaced from the workforce for a variety of reasons, whether they're getting out of prison or escaping domestic violence," Crowe said. "Whatever it is, they're trying to get familiar with what modern-day employers are looking for."
Women Moving Forward is one of SITM's annual service projects to make an impact on the community, Crowe said. Partnering with Job Opportunities in Nevada (JOIN), a non-profit job training agency, the day-long session consists of a series of workshops on job applications, basic management, career counseling and the "Clothes Closet." The closet, a room at the seminar in which women can find new clothes for job interviews and the workplace, is filled with donations from SITM members and their friends, Crowe said.
"We do a little fashion show with work-appropriate shopping so they leave not just with job skills but with clothes they need," she said.
The assistance is a breath of relief for women overcoming harder days in the past, trying to succeed in the present economic climate, Crowe past.
"Some are the primary breadwinner for their household," she said. "Some have a husband or children or they're the head of the household."
Lucich attended the first Women Moving Forward seminar last year. She shared that coming from a small town, overcoming trouble with drugs and alcohol and becoming pregnant with her son when she was 21, were all obstacles she battled as a young adult.
"Just because something bad happens to doesn't mean you can't rise above it," she said.
She said she didn't perform as well in school in her younger years as she could have, but has now acquired skills to make her more suited for office work.
"I was so inspired by the speakers and they taught me interviewing skills and making a resume look professional, which mine wasn't," she said. "They sent me to a fast-track school ... and I got my certification."
She hopes to work her way up to a position in medical coding and billing, but for now, Lucich is much happier and feels more confident about herself and her qualifications.
"I don't think I should be stuffing things in boxes anymore," she said. "It was just too hard for me being on cement. I had an opportunity to go back to school and I did."
Lucich has earned a place among her peers in SITM as a poet and summarized her experiences best in her most recent poem, "Believe and Achieve."
"Believing that I can reach any goal,
It doesn't matter how young or old.
In life there is only one test:
Anyone can pass if you just do your best!"

awesome studies man! Keep 'em up! :)
Awesome studies and doodles! Thanks for reminding me how powerful the lasso tool could be and for sharing insights on your process. I will experiment more with it in the future :) keep up the good work!
insane work! very impressed.
Very solid characters; they look grounded and well balanced, I'm liking it!
Hey guys! Thanks for your support!
I´m back after two months... damn that´s a long time. I was busy with some client work and uni. Certainly hope to get my stylus going again:
Here we go! Some sketchy characters, perspective scribbles, first attempts with environments and a portrait (yeah, I like my fair share of portraits).
Thanks for dropping by! Until next time!
solid work on those solid figures! characters turn out nice as allways. (the simple forms at the ende of your post are definitley my favourite part in your last update - great exercise)
I appreciate your work.
That 2nd character really caught my attention. These dynamic lines in your character sketches are amazing, I envy you - you really have nice pencils and linework in general.
Philipp + Scherer PontusEuxinus + BenVanDen + LastGen
Thank you very much, guys!
Some characters from imagination and sketchbook pages. The legs of the bold lady could crush skulls, I´m sure of it. I think I nailed the proportions on that one (NOT :D ).
your characters=unique. still waiting for some super-epic illustration : D
thanks buddy! No epic illustration yet.
Tried to illustrate some emotions.
With the three guys I didn´t focus on expression so much. Mostly it was the idea to create characters relating to one another and embody certain qualities which complement eachother . It´s two brothers with their father at the top who are running a crime collective of some sort.
cool studies, i love your portraits at#126 and #120
Nicely done with the expresions, cool thing!
Thanks guys!
First try on a comic. Well, not really, it´s only a panel, but the intention counts! :D And a strange blue banana in a yellow trenchcoat. Seems plausible to me.
Going different paths I guess. More stylized, more color, more fun!
Super great sketchbook. Your lines are perfect. And nice colors ;)
Watching ya!
sweet jesus, your latest piece is a milestone(at least the ground - keep working on the rest buddy :D)
bro, i see where youre heading to. keeping an eye at your blog ;)
Hey dude :) just read your latest blog entry - i was moved(to tears :D) :) i think your are on the right track - lets have fun!
Guys, do yourself a favor and read Kibas last blog entry :) very interesting! http://kirill-barybin.blogspot.de/20...e-it-last.html
Thanks guys!
The last few days I worked on a challenge with the topic "Tiger Hero". Had to scrap my first try on the character, because he was just plain boring. I´m glad I did. Was a lot of fun working on this piece.
Little background story for my character:
The baby´s cries died down. From the warmth of his mother´s womb, he fell right back into cold darkness, for the little thing was blind. Cruel as the world was, his right to live was then no more. He was of no use for anybody, just a burden not worth bothering with.
The careless mother tossed him into the woods of the Sundarbans. A dangerous place. A place that would make anything disappear and keep it´s secrets forever.
This filthy, little thing cried for hours, demanded its rights to live and to thrive. His will was strong and the voice convincing, so the woods kept on listening...
Then suddenly he became silent. He smelled something familiar. Flimsy colors appeared in his sight. He heard a soft voice. The colors became intense and vibrant.
The woods were satisfied with the settlement...
Here´s are the WIPs.
> got scrapped > new try
Thanks for dropping by!
Illustration for the character.
Whoa man, didn't have a literal jaw-drop in a long time!
Really solid studies and pieces! Loving the figure drawings and your linework! Top-notch brushwork aswell.
I'm gonna keep an eye on you. :D
good luck with the challenge :P
very very nice work :) see you soon and have some productive holidays
Sleep.less + Philipp Scherer
Thank you very much guys!
My plan of doing more personal stuff and no studies didn´t work out as intended. The ideas and images are there in my head, but the execution is just plain horrible. The thing is that I fail to overcome the beginning stage, when the painting looks aweful (maybe some of you know what I mean) and keep on working on the big picture. I tend to get into detail way too fast, I´m zooming in and out every second (damn you smooth Photoshop zoom!) and I don´t notice it most of the time. It has become some sort of subconscious thing.
Now I´m into making studies again. Trying to work mostly with large strokes, following the form and getting the shapes right.
know that zooming issue too good. bad bad habit : |
your gestures look so fluid, im crying.
thanks Pontus :)
bloodsport 15 entry
Your drawings are really nice. I especially love the ink cowboy.
Thanks, mate!
a little bit of loose sketching, great fun

text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 191723 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 1223 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2014 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 333 AM CDT SAT APR 19 2014 Early this morning, water vapor imagery shows the northern stream upper trough translating eastward over southern Saskatchewan while the southern stream trough was rotating into Arizona. Upper level moisture is increasing eastward into the western plains ahead of ridging across northeast Kansas. At the surface, temperatures were generally mild this morning in the upper 40s to low 50s. Southerly winds are beginning to increase across central and northeast Kansas as the pressure gradient tightens ahead of the shortwave trough centered over eastern Colorado. Another windy and warmer afternoon is expected across northeast Kansas as the approaching trough returns strong southerly flow. By mid morning, speeds between 15 to 25 MPH with gusts from 30 to 35 mph are likely through the afternoon. Decent warm air advecting h85 temps between 9 and 12C into the area will raise highs this afternoon into the upper 70s and low 80s. The exiting northern stream trough will usher a cold front south, progged to setup from western Kansas through south central Nebraska by late afternoon. Despite moisture advecting northward ahead of the boundary, mixing of the boundary layer will minimize RH values into the low and mid 30s in late afternoon. Therefore rangeland fire danger remains in the high category. Focus turns to convection developing just to the north and west of the CWA late this afternoon or early evening. The NAM, SREF, and GFS are fairly consistent in maintaining the capping inversion over north central Kansas through 00Z, prohibiting surface based development. However, the GFS appears a bit weaker than the NAM suggesting an updraft may overcome the inversion just to the west of Cloud and Republic counties. Decided to insert slight chances for development from 4 PM to 7 PM. Best chances for thunderstorm development will focus along and ahead of the cold front in south central Nebraska/central KS where strong surface convergence suggests multiple updrafts to form and move into north central Kansas after 00Z. Elevated cape values average from 300 to 800 J/KG while 0-6 KM bulk shear is marginal (25-30 kts). A few organized updrafts are possible, but hazards would mainly consist of small to marginally severe hail. Forecast soundings at CNK note very steep sfc lapse rates up to 800 MB with a well mixed boundary layer. The inverted V signature is suggestive of a downburst or localized strong wind potential with any developing storm from the afternoon through early evening for locations near and in Cloud to Republic and Washington. Should expect any thunderstorm activity to progress eastward overnight tonight as the h85 jet, and approaching upper trough maintain updraft development. Placed chances for precip mainly north of Interstate 70, highest along and north of highway 36. Elevated instability gradually wanes, reducing severe weather potential after midnight. Most areas along and south of Interstate 70 should remain dry through at least Sunday morning. Increasing insulation keeps lows mild in the mid and upper 50s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 333 AM CDT SAT APR 19 2014 Models continue to show relatively little inhibition to convection Sunday through Monday as the southern stream wave moves over the region. The cooler mid level temps associated with the wave are expected to keep lapse rates steep enough for showers and thunderstorms to develop with the heating of the day by Sunday afternoon. Then weak forcing persisting through the night and into Monday along with a frontal boundary moving through the area is likely to keep precipitation going. Deep layer shear remains unimpressive with 0-6 KM shear up to 20KT, so concerns for severe thunderstorms remains low. However PWs are forecast to increase to near 1.5 inches which is about two standard deviations above normal for late April. So there could be some locally heavy rainfall with some of the stronger storms. It still looks like there could be some modest insolation early Sunday as southerly winds continue to advect warmer air north. With this in mind have kept highs in the mid and upper 70s. Monday morning lows should also be mild due to southerly winds and overcast skies limiting radiational cooling. But through the day Monday winds are expected to shift to the north with some cold air advection. Combined with mostly cloudy skies and the potential for precip think highs should be cooler with readings in the lower 70s. Models continue to show a signal for elevated storms late Tuesday night and into Wednesday with the low level jet advecting mid level moisture back north. The better theta-e advection and saturation on the isentropic surfaces appears to be pretty high based around the 700MB level, but forecast soundings hint at some weak elevated instability. Therefore it is hard to rule out the chances and with the models persistent in this idea, and have kept some small pops in the forecast. Better chances for thunderstorms should be Wednesday night and Thursday as a longer wave length trough approaches from the west. There remains some differences in timing as well as evolution of the wave between the models, causing lower confidence in the forecast. However the models seem to be pointing towards thunderstorm development along a dryline or Pacific cold front by Wednesday evening and bringing a linear convective system across the forecast area. Moisture should not be a problem due to a lack of strong ridging along the gulf coast keeping the gulf opened. Because of this will continue with chance POPs Wednesday night into Thursday. Perhaps the least confident part of the forecast is timing the end to precip with ECMWF showing the upper wave to the northeast of the forecast area by Thursday evening. Have trended Thursday night POPs down and will continue to refine the forecast with later runs. Wednesday continues to look like the warmest day of the week as surface winds from the south strengthen and 850 temps warm to near 16C over central KS. Then the forecast trends temps cooler for Thursday and Friday expecting the Pacific cold front to move through. With the northern and southern streams phasing together by the end of the week with cyclogenesis progged to occur over the upper Midwest, there is a greater chance for some modified Canadian air to move south through the plains by Friday. Expecting some modest cold air advection, have kept highs for Friday generally in the upper 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFs through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1219 PM CDT SAT APR 19 2014 Expect VFR conditions through the next 24 hours. Southerly winds of 18 KTS to 23 KTS with gusts of 26 KTS to 34 KTS will continue through the afternoon hours. By sunset winds should diminish below 14 KTS. High and mid level clouds will increase through the night into Sunday morning. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Bowen LONG TERM...Wolters AVIATION...Gargan

Where Have All the Help Desks Gone?
One of the classic IT jobs in the United States may be slowly disappearing.
According to a May 2007 report by Datamonitor, "There will be considerable investment in contact center outsourcing across Western countries over the coming five months."
The report — titled "The Future of Vertical Investment in Contact Center Outsourcing" — also states that new industries, including health care and tourism, are starting to outsource their help-desk functions to other countries.
The changing economy will lead industries to seek ways to cut costs and improve efficiency. Companies can save money and provide their workers with top-notch, level-1 IT support by offshoring their help-desk functions. Many companies are going for it.
Accounting and consulting firm BDO Seidman LLP recently conducted a telephone survey of 100 chief financial officers at U.S. technology companies with annual revenues of $100 million to $15 billion. Forty-nine percent of respondents stated that they do some type of outsourcing of manufacturing or services outside the U.S.
Another 2008 study by Forrester Research — "Outsourcing Fever Reaches Legal Departments" — concluded that between 2003 and 2015, 79,000 legal jobs would be outsourced to other countries. Companies specializing in outsourcing are cropping up in many different industries, so the trend is becoming increasingly popular on many fronts.
Reasons for Outsourcing
There are several reasons why companies outsource jobs overseas. The first and foremost is cost savings. Labor in other countries costs much less than in the U.S. Rising costs of salaries, health care and insurance…

"Everyone in my family absolutely loved receiving this birth announcement. It is such a sweet design, the paper is obviously high quality and the printing was flawless. My mother-in-law loved it so much, she asked for a few more copies to hand out.....I had to order more :)"
"family and friends were excited to receive the second card of this kind, as they had been sent one for the first baby 2 years ago and all had been really impressed by the professional design, print and paper. for this amazing quality and lasting memory it also is ridiculously little money. not to mention the fun to compose your very own special card. looking forward to having more baby birthdays to announce :)"
"Loved this announcement. It's one of the budget paper types, but I thought it was a nice weight and much nicer than photo paper. I used the darker brown for the text and the light green for the name. Turned out great."
"The card is exactly as they show it on the web-site! excellent quality and color. I was so proud to send this out to family and friends! and the option to put an additional photo on the back was a real bonus. I was also impressed with the quality of the envelopes that accompanied the cards!"
"I ordered these cards last year when my daughter was born. I was extremely satisfied with the quality and got so many compliments from the recipients. I also received them several days before they were scheduled to arrive. As a result, I have ordered various photo greeting cards from the website and have been satisfied every time. You will not be disappointed!"

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s. The palate is very well balanced with excellent acidity: apricot, honeysuckle, a touch of orange zest and then vibrant white peach bursting across the finish with lime..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Gorgeous, featuring a core of creamed peach, persimmon, maple and nectarine notes inlaid with flashes of green tea, dried papaya and mango. Lush and refined, with accents of blood orange and mouthwatering spice echoing on the finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...excellent richness to the full-bodied, concentrated and pure flavors that brim with dry extract that coats the palate on the impressively persistent finish...the quality of the underlying material is impeccable."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An upper register and highly complex nose of green apples, white pear and citrus notes introduces almost painfully intense, pure and impressively powerful big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors that possess an almost aggressive minerality on the palate staining, tension-filled and driving finish...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "I was also impressed by the 2011 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard. Cropped at one ton of fruit per acre (Ramey told me the grapes looked like petits pois from France), and from one of the coldest sites in his portfolio, it exhibits lively notes of lemon oil, lime skins, white peaches and a touch of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very tight and quite reticent nose displays reluctant notes of tidal pool, lemon rind and green fruit. The rich, full-bodied and intense flavors possess fine mid-palate density that coats the mouth on the overtly austere and robust finish that is linear, tangy, clean and dry. As is also usually..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Mount Eden's 2010 Chardonnay is stunning. Honeysuckle, tangerine, apricot, and cr?me brulee literally jump from the glass A vivid, exotic wine, the 2010 is constantly changing in the glass.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tasted single blind against its peers. Denis Dubourdieu conjured a wonderful Barsac in 2007.

The palate is very harmonious with..

Find over 200 print-friendly fact sheets about heart disease and related health topics.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that travels through the blood. In and of itself, cholesterol isn't bad. It actually helps create the outer coating of our cells and aids the body in making vitamin D and certain hormones.
Your body makes the cholesterol it needs. But you also get it in your diet (for example, full-fat dairy products, fried foods and fatty meat). Too much cholesterol can be dangerous. That's because over time cholesterol and fat can build in the inner walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This can cause a narrowing of the arteries (see atherosclerosis), which is a major cause of heart disease.
If you have high cholesterol, you're certainly not alone. It will affect roughly half of all men and a third of all women at some point in their lives. The good news is that high cholesterol is often preventable and treatable. Adopting a healthy diet, getting regular exercise and, in some cases, taking medication can go a long way to help lower your cholesterol and protect your heart.
Use this condition center to learn more about high cholesterol. You can also chat online with other people like you, keep up with the latest research, and get tips to help your cholesterol in check.
